I'm feeling REALLY down right now about my height–I'm only 5'0?
Recently I've been feeling really miserable about my height. I'm 5"0 at 15.
I'm Indian so that's not THAT short I guess, but I just wish I was like 5"4-5"5. I think that 5"4-5"5 would be perfect because your not attempting to tower over the guys but you're also not very short.
I've been feeling so down about this. I don't think that I will grow much more either, I keep telling myself that if I stretch and eat healthy I MIGHT grow a few more inches, but idk what's the use, it probably won't work...
P.S. I've heard of Human Growth Hormone injections (I've heard they also come in pills), which I will talk to my Physician next time I see her. ;)
P.P.S. I weigh 93 pounds

Hi!
I used to feel this way too (I’m only an inch taller) so I know how you feel. I think that the best thing that you can do is try loving the person that you are. Even if you grew those extra inches magically overnight- there could still be something that you could find wrong with you. Don’t fall into the trap of downing yourself. Especially when you’re so young, things are still changing for you.
Focus on the good! Celebrate yourself!

Nothing wrong with being petite. It’s cute and you can get away with heels as high as you want!
I’m 5’7 and sometimes wish I was a little shorter.

There are a lot of guys like love short women, myself included. I would not worry about it too much, it’s not something you can control. Just make sure you are the best looking 5′ woman you can be.

It is mostly genetics. You do not want to mess with hormones

WORK what you have! You are only fifteen, you still have plenty of time to grow. My mom didn’t stop growing until she was 24! As for eating healthy and stretching, you should do this anyway, not just to get taller.
Being petite is beautiful, you just have to feel it.

I think it would be ridiculous to put hormones in your body that dont belong to you, just to grow a few inches. Err.
I’m 5’5 and I wish I was shorter. I want to be petite. When you are short and petite its so awesome. You should just eat healthy and exercise regularly, you have a few more years to grow. But seriously, you are at a normal height. If you were like 4’5 or something I’d be feeling sorry for you, but at 5 feet I envy you. You never have to worry about being too tall for a guy, you can be picked up easily, etc. Be happy with that.
Seriously girl, HGH creeps me out. Your body has its own hormones to deal with, you dont need to pump it full of other ones.

There are manyy ways to look taller. Tighter clothing, like skinny jeans help a lot. Avoid capris, crop shorts, and flat shoes. A shorter hairstyle can also make you appear taller. Vertical stripes and short skirts are good too. Theres notin wrong with being short, guys find petite to be cute. Just stand up straight, hold your head up high, and be confident.
